Endorphin

::The poem is chemically correct to be best of my knowledge, and I wrote it to help people understand the different chemical components in the short term and long term love ::
Bliss of dopamine
a fast-racing heart, that’s nor-epinephrine
Oh the highs of desires
elated pleasure and endless energy from our natural chemicals
when infatuation is in the air
but as time pass all will elapse
to make way for endorphin
it’s less heart-pumping but so much more soothing
to embrace dependability and intimacy
shared experience and a sense of well-being
it makes me miss you when we are apart
tears my heart if we shall flop
When all else fade away in two to three years we fall back on endorphin,
because by then you are the relative I would have made, by choice.hopefully by then we are still having sex,
making oxytocin that promotes cuddling and emotional bonding
helping us both feel satisfied and attached
so the lack of high
the dwindling of bliss and excitement

will not be the end of our existence

also a sidenote about oxytocin:
Another love magician that works on our bodies is oxytocin–a pituitary hormone composed of nine amino acids that is responsible for turning us on sexually and making us want to bond and cuddle. The bliss drug dopamine triggers its release into our system whenever we experience one of those ever-so-sexy cues–an intense gaze, a seductive touch, a luscious scent, the passionate tone of someone’s voice, a steamy fantasy, or even a glance at someone’s adorable smile.

…Touch seems to be the prime oxytocin stimulant–the more we touch, the more oxytocin is released, the more we’re aroused. Both women’s and men’s breasts are particularly oxytocin-friendly, and people often enjoy discovering their partners’ other oxytocin-stimulating zones, like ear-lobes, neck, and lips.
